Well what do I think of strategy games? In my opinion strategy based games are the best form of entertainment. Strategy games promote your thinking. They force you to think over every move, if your decision was a good one you will achieve victory and if you made a mistake somehow then your forces will have to deal with the consequences of your bad decision.War based strategy games are my favorite, they actually let you relive the life of a commander and you can feel what it was like to be a commanding officer in the world wars. Such games allow you to control and command various weapons and equipment that have been used in real life in our history such as infantry, tanks, submarines, battleships and aircraft carriers.While there are also those games that are set in the future, some games assume that recent wars have destroyed all life on earth and as a last resort we had to settle in space on some other planet, thus allowing us to battle in space. Here we get to command space ships and very advanced infantry and armor.Strategy games are probably the oldest form of entertainment. While we enjoy battling huge armies and commanding our own virtual platoons. Aztecs and Egyptians have enjoyed strategy games for a long time, proof of this are the strategy based board games found by archaeologists.Strategy games come in various forms. They are typically board games, video or computer games with the players' decision-making skills having a high significance in determining the outcome.In the modern world a lot of strategy games are developed each month. More popular now a days are the free online strategy games that are rapidly gaining popularity.
